Video Not Working? Fix It Now

In this video I'm making a coffe table from a rotten log, some epoxy resin and some rusty hardware I found inside a cable spool. I (I try to) sell it on Etsy.

I use a comment from a viewer in the video. I love the comment, and decided to use it. Everybody is allowed to state their opinion about what I do, and I on the other hand feel free to use any of them in future videos.

The story in this video is based on true events, but the elderly woman is not my actual mother. My mother did not buy the table, somebody else did, but I found it to be very funny to have an ending where I pretended she did.

I did sell it for 3500 DKK on Etsy. That's about 470 euros or 482 USD.

I'm not affililated with any of the toolbrands I'm using in this video. Nobody paid me so say anything. However, I do like to support other creators, and often buy their merch.

In this video I'm often wearing shirts and drinking from a cup from DIY For Knuckeheads. Shane Conlan is an Australian creator, and he was very kind to be a part of my video "The Knuckleheads reclaimed wood workbench." I owe him a lot. Go check him out at https://jespermakes.com/diyforknuckleheads

I do owe thanks to a lot of creators, I will try my best to feature you somehow in future videos. The way I like to feature other creators is by making some sort of cameo that's relevant for the video I'm making, so I'm sorry if you send me your sticker hoping to get a shout-out. It could be a while before the right opportunity shows up for me.

Thank you all creators and people watching and commenting on my videos. I read all comments and will answer all. I learn a lot from the comments and will do my best to mention who gave me the good advice in future videos. Thank you.

- Jesper
